Panthers defeat Cowboys in home opener

CHARLOTTE, NC (FOX 46 WJZY) - The Carolina Panthers took on the Dallas Cowboys in their first home game of the season on Sunday, and they dominated.

It was a quiet first quarter with neither team scoring, but the game quickly heated up once they entered the second quarter. It did, however, start on a somber note as tight end Greg Olsen was taken off of the field for a foot injury-- likely related to the fracture he sustained last season.

After losing Olsen, the team rallied, scoring the first touchdown of the game. Who ran it in, you ask? None other than Cam Newton himself, slipping around the Cowboys' defense while they looked for him to pass the ball.

Injury struck Carolina again, however, with offensive lineman Daryl Williams being carted off of the field with a knee injury, and linebacker Luke Kuechly, who also suffered a knee injury, left the field. Luckily, Kuechly returned to field later on, happily joining in on the team's victory.
